Abstract

Front structure for an electric vehicle including a lower dash panel, a seat cross-member and a tunnel nose, such that the tunnel nose is designed to absorb energy in its front portion while resisting intrusion in its rear portion, optimizing the energy absorption in the part during a front crash and protecting the battery pack from being breached by the downward pushing effect of the lower dash panel.
